Cruise Control: Testing and Inspection

CAUTION: Do not engage cruise control when vehicle is being used in low transfer gear or reverse.

WARNING: The use of cruise control is not recommended on winding, snow covered or slippery roads or in heavy traffic conditions where a constant speed cannot be maintained.

1. Start engine. depress main control switch to actuate cruise control system. Accelerate to approximately 50 km/h, (30 mph), operate 'set/acc' switch, immediately release switch, remove foot from accelerator pedal. Vehicle should maintain speed at which 'set/acc' switch was operated.
2. Operate 'set/acc' switch and hold at that position. vehicle should accelerate smoothly until switch is released. Vehicle should now maintain new speed at which 'set/acc' switch was released.
3. Momentarily touch and release 'set/acc' switch, vehicle speed should increase 1.6 km/h (1 mph) for each touch. Note that five touches will increase speed 8 km/h (5 mph).
4. Apply 'res/decel' switch while vehicle is in cruise control mode, cruise control should disengage. Slow to approximately 55 km/h, (35 mph) operate 'res/decel' switch, immediately release switch and remove foot from accelerator, vehicle should smoothly accelerate to previously set speed. Increase speed using accelerator pedal, release pedal, vehicle should return to previously set speed.
5. Operate brake pedal, cruise control system should immediately disengage returning vehicle to driver control at accelerator pedal. Operate 'res/decel' switch, vehicle should accelerate to previously set speed without driver operation of accelerator pedal.
6. Operate 'res/decel' switch and allow vehicle to decelerate to below 42 km/h, (26 mph). Operate 'res/decel' switch, cruise control system should remain disengaged.
7. Operate 'set/acc' switch below 40 km/h, (28 mph), cruise control system should remain disengaged. Accelerate, using accelerator pedal to above 45 km/h, (28 mph), operate 'res/decel' switch, and remove foot from accelerator pedal, vehicle should smoothly adjust to previously memorized speed.
8. Automatic vehicles - select neutral, system should disengage. Manual vehicles - depress clutch, system should disengage.
9. Cruise at 80 km/h (50 mph), declutch, select neutral, remove foot from clutch. Operate 'res/decel' switch. Engine should rev to 5000 rev/min, cruise control disengages, engine returns to idle.
10. Engage forward gear. Operate 'res/decel' switch. Remove foot from accelerator. Speed should accelerate to previous set speed.
11. Depress main control switch in control system should immediately disengage and erase previously set speed from ECU memory.
